Overall Research Project Description The second-hand luxury goods market is defined as the market for pre-owned high-end products associated with prestigious brands. Second-hand luxury goods encompass many items, including fashion accessories, clothing, handbags, watches, footwear, and jewelry in pre-owned markets (e.g., The RealReal, ThredUp, Farfetch Limited; Impactful Insights, 2023). The second-hand luxury goods market has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by shifting consumer lifestyles, growing awareness about sustainable shopping practices, and increasing demand. In 2023, the second-hand fashion goods and resale market size was estimated to be worth $34.2 billion (Impactful Insights, 2023). According to the Thredup resale report (2023), the global second-hand market is expected to grow three times faster on average than the global apparel market by 2027. The global second-hand luxury market is projected to reach approximately US$58.30 billion by 2028 (Research and Markets, 2023). It is believed that this consistent growth in the second-hand luxury market is primarily driven by Millennials and Generation Z (Gen-Z).

Despite the growing pre-owned market related to luxury goods among the young generation, there is little research to understand the impact of luxury brand value perception on purchase intention toward second-hand luxury goods in the pre-owned market platforms. Thus, this study aims to examine the influence of perceived luxury brand value on the purchase intentions of young consumers in the pre-owned market platform, exploring underlying factors such as social media marketing, consumer engagement, trust, and attitude.
Research Tasks Literature review, data collection, and conducting interviews.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: I strongly recommend that the student have research experience.
Mentoring Philosophy Mentorship is a professional, working alliance in which individuals work together over time to support the relational partners' personal and professional growth, development, and success through career and psychosocial support. So, I believe every challenge is an opportunity for growth first, and I encourage my mentees to embrace setbacks as learning experiences. Second, my approach to mentoring focuses on the whole person, helping my mentees balance their professional ambitions with personal well-being. Finally, I see mentoring as a partnership where both mentor and mentee learn from each other and grow together.
